Gemini for macOS gets voice-powered transcription, text editing, summarization and image generation

Google is rolling out new natural language voice capabilities for the Gemini app on macOS, the company announced Thursday. The update lets users interact with Gemini from any window on their desktop by long-pressing the Fn key to speak naturally into any window. By default, the feature enables intelligent dictation. Gemini converts spoken words into clean, formatted text by automatically removing filler words such as "um" and "ah," handling mid-sentence corrections, and inserting the polished text directly at the cursor. Users can also enable Gemini reasoning in the app's settings to understand the context of content on the screen. These capabilities include summarizing files and documents, writing and rewriting text, and generating and editing images. The new natural language voice capabilities are rolling out globally to all users of the Gemini app for macOS in English, with support for additional languages coming later.
